Customs Agency – Langowski Logistics

Customs Agency

Clearance in Poland and Europe

Import Clearance to the USA (IOR & U.S. CustomsCompliance). From coast to coast, we manage your cargo at every U.S. airport and container terminal, ensuring smooth and compliant handling everywhere.

If you are importing goods into the United States, you - or a designated agent - must act as the Importer of Record (IOR). As IOR

you are legally responsible for:

filing accurate import documentation and classification of goods,
declaring the correct value, country of origin, harmonized tariff code (HTS), and other required data,
paying applicable duties, taxes and fees, as well as meeting any regulatory requirements (e.g. for products subject to FDA, FCC, EPA, etc.).

Before importing, the IOR (or their broker) needs to complete and submit required forms (e.g. U.S. Customs and Border Protection

“CBP Form 5106” to establish a valid importer profile in the CBP system).

For import shipments a Customs bond (continuous or single-entry) is required. This bond guarantees that duties, taxes, and other liabilities will be paid, and is mandatory for legal clearance.

We manage the entire ISF filing process — from data collection to timely submission — ensuring your U.S. ocean imports remain fully compliant, avoid costly penalties, and move through the port without delays.

Our agency provides full IOR services even for clients without a U.S. entity, including consultation on which type of bond is most appropriate, guidance on obtaining bonds, correct tariff classification, value declaration, origin marking, and regulatory compliance.

Binding Rulings & Classification / Value Advice for U.S. Imports & Exports

To ensure compliance and avoid delays or rejections, in

complex cases (e.g. unusual products, unclear classification, special

regulations) you may request a binding ruling from CBP. A binding ruling

provides a legally binding decision on classification, marking, valuation or

other customs matters - giving you certainty before shipment.

We offer advisory services to help you prepare ruling

requests or evaluate existing rulings - especially useful for repeated

shipments, regulatory-sensitive goods, or export from Europe to the U.S.

Adhering to binding rulings helps prevent costly mistakes

related to tariff classification, duties, mis-valuation, or non-compliance with marking / labeling requirements.

Import Clearance from the USA to Europe / Poland —

European Customs & VAT-related Procedures

For clients importing from the U.S. into the European Union (e.g. Poland), we continue to offer our traditional customs clearance services. That includes:

• handling import declarations under EU procedures,

• calculating and settling customs duties and EU-import VAT (or applying simplified / preferential procedures when applicable)

• offering the possibility of non-cash VAT settlement (where available).

This hybrid offering ensures that whether your supply chain goes from USA → Poland / EU, or from Europe → USA, we can support customs and fiscal compliance end to end.
